What is Project C.L.E.A.N.?Project C.L.E.A.N. is a city-wide crime watch initiative. It exists to increase awareness about crime prevention and expand non-emergency communication with the Allen Police Department. "C.L.E.A.N." stands for Citizens and Law Enforcement in Allen Neighborhoods.

Project ObjectivesProject C.L.E.A.N. works with residents to reduce crime, with a goal of making Allen the safest city in the United States.

How You Can HelpYou can help reduce crime by joining or forming a Neighborhood Watch group. Contact the Community Relations Unit at 214.509.2500 to get started.

See It, Hear It, Report ItLife-or-death situations should always be reported to 911 first. However, residents may report other suspicious activity to Non-Emergency Dispatch by calling 214.509.4321. Using this number for non-emergency situations ensures 911 phone lines are open for life-or-death emergencies.
